Welcome to
Girl Powder

Hello, I'm Laura, a self-confessed Alps addict. 
​

For over 20 years, Chamonix has been my happy place — the mountains, the energy, the endless sense of possibility. After lovingly renovating a chalet for my family, I created Girl Powder Retreats to share this magic with like-minded women who crave both exhilaration and ease: think breathtaking adventures, inspiring conversations over delicious food, and moments of pure relaxation.
 

Every retreat is designed to help you reconnect — with nature, with yourself, and with other incredible women. You’ll leave feeling invigorated, inspired, and deeply refreshed.

I can't wait to host you,  Laura x

More than just a holiday

Whether you’re skiing the slopes in winter or hiking alpine trails in summer, our retreats balance adventure and wellness to bring women together in the heart of the Alps.

Stay in a luxury home-from-home

You'll be staying in Chalet Mélèzes, a breath-taking space designed to offer all the wows of a luxury stay but with the cosy, welcoming feel of a getaway with friends.

"This trip was a game changer for me."

One of the things we're most proud of is the glowing reviews of our guests (we're rated 5-stars on Trip Advisor), who head home feeling totally revitalised and excited to reconnect with new friends. 

From fine dining to fun adventures
